Product Description


Fundamentals of Economics is a concise but thorough survey of economics for instructors desiring a brief, practical text. Based on the comprehensive two-semester text by the same authors, this version of Economics "boils down" the formal economic theories and concepts into their essential parts, emphasizing domestic and international applications and policy issues.

• A Study Guide is now incorporated throughout the text, providing chapter-by-chapter review in a single location. Most chapters contain four or more pages of study material consisting of key term match-ups and multiple-choice quizzes, all of which students can work through at their own pace.
• Chapter 18, "Globalization," addresses the costs and benefits of the process by which the world's economies have become more closely integrated.
• The Third Edition includes several additional Now You Try It boxes. These quick questions appear at critical content junctures and allow students to practice applying concepts and skills as they learn them.
• Every chapter focuses on the business decisions of actual, headline-making companies and discusses the economic policies of today's world leaders. These examples are presented so that the individual student understands how he or she is affected.
